Using a Norwegian driving licence in the EU /EEA

You need to carry your physical driving licence in the car while driving, it is not enough to have a digital driving licence on your mobile phone.

Some countries outside the EU/EEA require an international driving licence

Many countries outside the EU/EEA accept Norwegian driving licences that are of the EEA model, but in some countries you will need an international driving licence in addition.

The Norwegian Public Roads Administration recommends that you find out what rules apply in the country you will be visiting. You can contact the authorities in the country concerned, or the country's embassy in Norway, and ask them what the rules are.

How to get an international driving licence

An international driving licence is a translation of the driving entitlements contained in a national driving licence into a number of languages. It is a paper booklet in A6 format with a grey cover and white pages.

You can order an international driving licence from NAF (Norges Automobil Forbund), KNA (Kongelig Norsk Automobilklub) or MA (Rusfri Trafikk) (Norwegian only).
